ผผู้เข้าพักOverall, this was a nice little place to stay. You can tell it's an older facility, but seems to be fairly well maintained. Pretty clean overall, though the floors were a bit sticky. The setup of our rooms was nice as well. I'd probably stay again if I were ever in the area.
SSandra MacauOverall a great experience and very well located hotel. Many people from Ottawa don’t even know it exists but it is located right between Parliament Hill, Byward Market, the Rideau Canal and the University of Ottawa, all within reasonable walking distance. The room was nearly organised and clean, they provide fresh bed sheets, a towel, and a locker for each person in the room for the dorms. The bathrooms have body wash.
The services are great too as they hold your luggage and offer different activities to do. A big highlight was the free jail tour in the mornings where they provide insights on what the building was like during its run. My friends from Ottawa came with me and found it interesting too as a local. If you do not have time for that, each floor has informative banners that explain similar historical background. Furthermore, they had laminated sheets in the lobby with recommendations for places to go beyond the regular tourist staples and great places to eat. I went with one of their restaurant recommendations and it was delicious!
Note that I do not think it is accessible since it is a building that has to be preserved in its original state, there is no elevator, but each floor is only around half a flight of stairs. Sound also travels a lot in the hostel because of the jail’s design, but they provide ear plugs at the front desk.
The breakfast was also great :)
AAlexa NoronaMy niece and I stayed here for a night on our way to Stratford. The staff were lovely - everyone was so kind and helpful. We stayed in the Georgina Fergusson room, which was small, but enough space for the two of us. The bathroom was a good size- much larger than I expected, with a jetted tub. The breakfast was delicious.
ผผู้เข้าพักArrived late at night, check-in was quick and easy, the room was clean, and got everything we needed. Kids love the swimming pool. Breakfast was good, staffs are very nice and helpful. A/C was loud, but our kids were able to sleep through it, so it was not a big issue. Overall, a friendly, simple accommodation , we were happy with our stay.
ผผู้เข้าพักOur room wasn't ready for us so had to wait. Eventually gave us a different room which smelled like burnt plastic when the air turned on. Especially the heat. Faded..but the kids kept complaining about something ”smelly”. Not sure if we would stay here again but it wasn't too bad since it was close to groceries and restaurants.
QQasim RThe Woodview Inn in Gananoque is a beautiful and charming bed and breakfast. The property has so much character and history, which gives it a very cosy and welcoming atmosphere.
The location is excellent. Gananoque itself is a wonderful town, and the inn is within easy walking distance of many of the local attractions, restaurants, and places to explore.
What really stood out to us was the hospitality of the owners, Steve and John. They are very involved in running the inn and clearly take great pride in the experience they provide for their guests. Their personal attention, warmth, and care make the stay feel especially welcoming.
Overall, The Woodview Inn is a lovely place to stay if you are visiting Gananoque. It combines history, charm, a great location, and wonderful hospitality from Steve and John.
